Biography Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, as well as the co-creator of Cubism. He was born on October 25, 1881. Picasso displayed a prodigious talent for drawing at a very young age. He moved to many different places to go to different schools. He became a very famous artist and was liked but not by everyone. He had been with a lot of women but only married twice. He died in 1973.

The Blue Period These art pieces were all painted between 1901 and 1904 which was known as Picasso's Blue Period. It included sad, gaunt people in gloomy settings. He uses a melancholy blue in most of these paintings. This blue period began when he became depressed because his close friend Carlos Casagemas commited suicide. The Old Guitarist, 1903 The Blue Room, 1901 Femme aux Bras Croises, 1902 The Death of Casagemas, 1901

The Rose Period The Rose Period lasted from 1904 to 1906. This comes from the time when the style of his painting used cheerful orange and pink colors in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period Boy with a Pipe,1905 Portrait of Fernande Olivier in headscarves ,1906 Family of Acrobats and Monkey, 1905 Seated Female Nude, 1904

Cubism Picasso’s Cubism period lasted from 1909 to 1912. This was a period when he changed natural forms into geometric shapes. He mainly drew distorted and multi-view figures with dull colors. The Weeping Woman, 1937 Three Musicians, 1921 Guernica, 1937

Reflection I learned that Picasso’s art was very unique and different and he went through a lot of phases. I liked how he had different periods so all of his work wasn’t the same it had a variety. His paintings became very successful and still are famous worldwide.
